I think your koi fish are beautiful! You are so talented. I think it's funny how you use your tweezers to place the eyes. I have several tweezers around for such delicate work. I use them in my jewelry and card making. With treats like this I guess it is an art form!

Have fun with your family, wishing you the best holiday! See you when you get back!

the koi fish looks really colourful and nice! i also got my set of moulds, planning to do agar-agar... Good idea to use raisins for the eyes.. When i did my hello kitty agar agar, i use chocolate to fill the eyes and whiskers after it was set and unmould...

i love how colorful and vibrant the gold fish are! And I'm sure they are just as delicious!! I wish I could get agar agar powder but I don't think there is such here in the US. But thanks for sharing this beautiful piece! Happy Lunar New Year to you and your family! May your family be healthy and prosperious!

I have been visiting your blog and you are a fantastic cook!I love those fishes. It is a work of art!Here is wishing you a great holiday an hope to hear from you after the holidays...... Have an abundant rabbit year

OMG, I have been selling these molds on ebay and one of the buyers contacted me today regarding your blog. I almost cried! The fishes are so so so beautiful!!! I can't believe it! I will be a huge fan of your blog from now on.

@AnonymousMay, thanks for informing me. I know Kitchen capers also sells the hello kitty mold cheaper than other shop, will sure to go there soon. I saw a rabbit mold at PH yesterday at 53 cts but didn't buy because CNY is almost over...sigh...already got so many molds in my store room...still cannot stop buying ;DD

Hi Ann, Thanks for sharing such a beautiful koi fish recipe..I made these during CNY and all my friends and relatives love it so much but of course mine are not as pretty as yours....Wishing you and your family a very happy and prosperous Year of Rabbit! Karen

Ooh...sorry to hear that :(Many readers had tried this and their feedback are good. Perhaps after sticking the eyes to the mould, try to add a little more plain agar agar liquid on it and when pouring the warm liquid into the mould, pour it at the lower part of the fish mould so that the fish eyes will not melt easily. I don't understand why your agar agar did not set. You can add another 1g of agar agar powder to it and stirring the liquid for a couple of minutes more after boiled. Hope these help :)

Absolutely amazing!!! My mum has made something similar but with coffee flavoured agar agar so not as colourful and pretty as your kois. I have her recipe sitting in my draw for 2 years, you have now inspired me ;-)

Hi Pearlyn, Yes, the fish colours are the same even after several days. I think your agar agar water didn't boiled enough. Try to stir the agar agar water a little longer next time before pouring into the mould..
